MASTERCLASS ON DRAWING ON WATER 6+

Guests will be able to get acquainted with the modern and magical Ebru water painting technique. Instead of a canvas, special water is used in which the colors are spread in the most incredible way. You can create only a single copy of the painting, because it is impossible to replicate it exactly. This fascinating activity is very suitable for both adults and children. It develops imagination and creative thinking, and also helps to relieve stress.

CITY THROUGH THE EYES OF A CAT 12+

This unusual documentary offers viewers a chance to see Amsterdam through the eyes of its animal inhabitants. The story "narrated" by the cat Fritz reminds us that the city exists not only for people. Millions of other, sometimes unnoticed inhabitants adapt to the streets, canals, brick and reinforced concrete buildings and feel as comfortable (or not so comfortable) here as in the primordial nature. The perfect movie to celebrate Cat Day on March 1.
